Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 818: Chapter 15: Powerful! The Foundation of the Wang Family’s Prosperity (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

…

Heng Commandery Prince held considerable prestige within Return to Dragon City.

Especially for Shangguan Yunhong, even if the first elder of the Shangguan family came to see Heng Commandery Prince, he would have to be extremely polite and sincerely address him as “Your Highness” from the bottom of his heart.

It was rumored that His Highness Heng Commandery Prince had entered the final stage of refinement. Once he broke through the last shackle, he would be able to become an Enlightened One of the Divine Power Territory, not only significantly enhancing his strength but also more than doubling his lifespan, which could reach over two thousand years.

At that time, Return to Dragon City would hold a grand celebration, and the Emperor himself would personally report to the ancestral temple, ennobling him in the name of Wu’s ancestral family as “Heng Prince.”

Even within the formidable Da Qian Imperial Household, there were only eleven living Princes presently.

The status of Heng Commandery Prince within the Imperial Household was evident.

Shangguan Yunhong, even if a thousand times unwilling in his heart, had no choice but to retract his War Body, reverting to a more human-like appearance, and respectfully bowed as he said, “Yes, Your Highness. Yunhong shall take his leave now.”

Having said that, he led his household staff away in a sorry state.

After Shangguan Yunhong departed, the equally burly Fang Yaowu suddenly became noticeable.

The attention of many onlookers naturally shifted, and pairs of eyes stared at him intensively.

Having received some treatment, Fang Yaowu finally managed to dissipate the excess Qi and blood within his body, and came back to life. Feeling the eyes of the crowd on him, he immediately felt guilty and said in a deep voice, “This… why are you all looking at me?”

“Brother Fang, as one of the ten distinguished young military talents, would you really stand by and watch as an outsider shows off on the stage?”

“Yes, yes, didn’t you always say that you could handle Shangguan Yunhong with just one hand?”

“Hehe~ that person was kicking the Sky Pride of Shangjing.” Fang Yaowu’s expression turned serious, and he said honestly, “I, Fang Yaowu, am one of the Sky Pride of the Thirty-Six Guards, not the same kind as them. Oh right, I forgot to turn off the fire under the chicken soup at home, I must be off, farewell~”

Saying so, he walked out of White Cloud Tower with his head high, then quickly sprinted away from the scene.

What a joke, that Immortal Li Yao was purely a super-perverted level master; even two of him, Fang Yaowu, might not be able to get the upper hand.

As for handling Shangguan Yunhong with one hand… okay, he admitted he was bragging.

After all, as one of the ten distinguished military talents, even though Fang Yaowu was very burly, his speed was still swift and agile…

In a few breaths, his figure disappeared from sight.

The onlookers inside White Cloud Tower let out disappointed hisses.

Nevertheless, even though Fang Yaowu had run away, the debut battle of the Great Heavenly Proud, Wang Liyao, had already successfully made a name for herself.

Very quickly, the news of the Challenger of Heaven spread like the wind at an extremely fast pace throughout Return to Dragon City and quickly secured the top spot on Return to Dragon City’s trending list.

After all, it had been over a century since the last Challenger of Heaven.

Everyone wanted to see just how far Wang Liyao could go. Could she match the records set by Gong Yang Ce in the past?

However, most people subconsciously thought that Wang Liyao probably could not compare with Gong Yang Ce.

After all, there was the issue of age during the battle for Challenger of Heaven; Gong Yang Ce was already in his nineties back then, while Wang Liyao was only sixty-nine now.

How fast the Great Heavenly Proud’s cultivation progressed; how could it endure a gap of more than two decades?

While it was causing a stir outside,

Heng Commandery Prince had already invited Wang Liyao to the private room on the top floor, saying amiably, “The Tianhe true transmission is extraordinarily outstanding, and you truly have not disgraced the reputation of elder Tianhe.”

“Liyao has seen His Highness, Heng Commandery Prince.” Wang Liyao greeted him with neither arrogance nor humility.

“No need for formalities, no need~~ You’ve just eaten too much roasted Spirit Cow, so I won’t serve you any greasy food,” Heng Commandery Prince instructed the Great Steward by his side, “Brew a pot of Immortal Tea, prepare some Top Grade Immortal Spirit Fruits to welcome Miss Liyao. Oh, and remember there’s a five-pound West Sea Snowy Skin Fish in the Ice Crystal Treasury; have the chef steam it in its original flavor to help Miss Liyao cut through the grease.”

“Your Highness, that Snowy Skin Fish is an ingredient specified by Consort Yi…” the Great Steward said in a low voice.

The Snowy Skin Fish was exceedingly rare and provided remarkable beauty and nourishment for women. Each one was hyped to sky-high prices in Return to Dragon City, let alone a precious fish weighing five pounds.

“Just go and do it,” Heng Commandery Prince said sternly, “Consort Yi has eaten it twice already, missing it once won’t kill her. Liyao is a distinguished guest of mine and naturally should be treated with the finest ingredients.”

Wang Liyao was about to refuse, but Heng Commandery Prince stopped her, “Do not be polite, Liyao. By choosing my White Cloud Tower for your battle as the Challenger of Heaven, you could naturally bring a huge influx of people and fame to White Cloud Tower. What’s a Snowy Skin Fish in comparison? Fight here, and do not go elsewhere.”

“Then Liyao thanks His Highness, Heng Commandery Prince,” Wang Liyao hesitated slightly before saying, “But about that stage…”

“Replace it!” Heng Commandery Prince said without hesitation, “I will immediately replace it with an Obsidian Fighting Stage and hire an Array Master to set up a Protective Array, assuring no delay in Miss Liyao’s battle.”

Heng Commandery Prince realized that he had been conducting business too straightforwardly for hundreds of years, simply following the traditional routines. But after tasting the benefits of the Big Stomach King contest, his mind became active.

The battle for the Challenger of Heaven could certainly attract more attention than the Big Stomach King contest. In the end, even the Emperor would pay some attention. Imagine the benefits it could bring to White Cloud Tower.
